Ramallah, Aug. 4 (Petra) — More than 1,821 Israeli violations were recorded across the West Bank in the month of July, head of the Palestinian Authority’s Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission, Moayad Shaaban, said on Monday.

In the commission’s monthly report on “the occupation (authority’s) violations and colonial expansion,” Shaaban said the Israeli army carried out 1,355 attacks and extremist settlers were behind 466. The highest number of assaults was in Ramallah, 302, Hebron, 300, and Nablus 293.

These ranged from armed attacks on towns and villages, land grabs, summary executions, tree uprooting, property seizures, and military checkpoints disrupting Palestinian movement, he said.

Settler violence particularly targeted rural and Bedouin communities, with 126 attacks in Ramallah, 103 in Hebron, 83 in Nablus, and 39 in Bethlehem, he added.

Shaaban said the rise in settler terrorism is not isolated, but corroborates a state-backed policy of intimidation, displacement and genocide against the Palestinians that is taking place along with the ongoing war on the Gaza Strip.
